Chapter 4 The Form of Possession
In the early morning of the next day, with a 'ah' scream, Zheng Feng woke up, he sat on the big bed, panting in his mouth, cold sweat on his head, his little heart was pounding endlessly, and he looked like he was scared by a nightmare.
Zheng Feng did have nightmares, and they were all chaotic scenes, burning fires and running figures could be seen everywhere. He saw many people lying in front of his eyes, bleeding wounds, frightened expressions, some unrelated passers-by, some as if they were his companions.
A large number of soldiers, wielding all kinds of weapons, chased them in all directions, and there was constantly the sound of weapons clashing, the shouts of someone being cut down, and everywhere was filled with fire and black smoke, a terrifying scene of burning and killing.
The worst thing is that these scenes are extremely real, as if they have been experienced personally, which is undoubtedly a huge impact for Zheng Feng, who has been living in a peaceful era, and it is normal to be scared to wake up.
After gasping for a while, Zheng Feng's mood slowly stabilized, but his heart was now even more scared. Although the scenes in those dreams did scare him, if it was just a nightmare, then it was nothing, after all, no matter how terrible the dream was, it would be fine if he woke up from the dream.
What really scared Zheng Feng more and more now was what if those were not dreams, but the experiences of the former owner of his body. What if this was not a nightmare of oneself, but from the consciousness of another soul. So does it mean that this body, or even this life, is still not completely one's own, and will one day, he be replaced by another soul?
This idea is not a casual idea, and with Zheng Feng's own past experience, it is impossible for him to have such a nightmare. Even if you dream about some similar scenes, it can't be so real, and without similar experiences, it's impossible to be so real with imaginary dreams. So the source of these nightmares must be the former owner of the body called Keith.
Thinking of this, Zheng Feng asked Gu Gu in a somewhat trembling voice, "I said, how is that Keith now, is his soul still in this world?"
Gu's answer is still clear: 'Master, the original Keith is dead, his soul has left this world, and when the system is looking for a soul carrier, there is no soul in this body. In fact, when Zheng Feng first came to this world, it was impossible for that fragile soul to expel other people's souls, and only with an empty shell body, Zheng Feng's fragile soul could enter.
"However, I had dreams that I shouldn't have had, there were a lot of people in the dreams that I didn't know before, but I know who they were now, isn't there something left of Keith's soul?" Zheng Feng frowned and continued to ask, and retold some of the scenes in the dream to Gu Gu.
This is not a remnant of the soul, it is just a normal physiological reaction. Gu Gu continued to explain the phenomenon to Zheng Feng in a flat voice. This situation is not a fantasy thing involving the soul, but a very ordinary physiological reaction of the human body.
The original Keith's soul in this body has indeed left, but the body itself is still intact, although it has been bitten by those coyotes in many limbs, but the injuries on the flesh and bones of those limbs are similar to those without injuries for the system's repair ability.
The factor that will really affect whether it can be used as a new carrier of Zheng Feng's soul is actually only the integrity of the brain. As long as the brain is not damaged, the soul can enter, because the system at that time also existed out of thin air, and it was not capable of repairing the brain that is the key to the soul carrier at that time. So now that Zheng Feng's soul has been successfully resurrected, it means that the original brain of this body is intact.
The memories of human beings and most living beings are stored in the brain, which is the material carrier of the soul and memory. Although Case's soul is gone, the memories imprinted on the cells of the cerebral cortex are still there.
After Zheng Feng enters a deep sleep, all parts of the brain will automatically merge, and when these cells carrying memories are connected to the nerve center that now belongs to Zheng Feng, these memories will also appear in Zheng Feng's consciousness. So, it's a normal physiological response, it's just that neurons in the cerebral cortex are interacting.
After listening to Gu's explanation, Zheng Feng was relieved, at least he would not be taken away by inexplicably, as long as his life was not in danger, it didn't matter if he had more memories. However, these memories are also very troublesome, and human memories are actually also carriers of emotions, so many people have forgotten their original feelings because of amnesia. On the other hand, Zheng Feng now has the memory of Keith, and he also receives the emotions that come with the memory.
If it's the emotion left over from the ordinary life of an ordinary person, it's nothing. But Keith has gone through the disaster of annihilation, and the emotions he left behind are very strong, the grief for the loss of relatives, the resentment of the enemy, the loneliness and helplessness of fleeing to the mountains alone, and the despair of facing death in the end, these are all things that Zheng Feng has not experienced.
Sitting on the bed in a daze, Zheng Feng recalled the scene he had just seen in the dream, and now that he didn't have to worry about his own safety, he naturally had the energy to think about the content of those dreams. Zheng Feng didn't think much about the other fears and helpless feelings, he was not a Cases child, and he had no fear of those soldiers who were chasing and intercepting them.
However, Case's grief over the loss of his parents and his worry about his sister did affect Zheng Feng's emotions, because his parents in his previous life also left him in an accident, and that feeling of grief made him feel very substitutionary. Now Case's parents are no longer in this world, but his sister is not.
Case's sister was the little girl Zheng Feng had seen in his dream, she was six years younger than Case, and now she was only eleven years old. And Zheng Feng was twenty-seven years old in the previous world, ten years older than Keith, so he called Keith a child.
In Keith's memory, his sister Julia was just separated from him, and it is hard to say whether this little girl can escape the pursuit of the pursuers. However, given that Keith was still worried about his sister before he died, Zheng Feng decided that if this little girl was still alive, he would take good care of Keith for her, after all, he used other people's bodies, and it was natural for him to take care of his family for others.
Rubbing his head, Zheng Feng was about to get down to business, and he looked at the Gu Gu and began to ask if the two buildings from yesterday were already good. However, when Zheng Feng looked at his wrist, he was surprised to find that the tool was not on the wrist, what is the situation, such an important thing could not be lost.
Just when Zheng Feng had just felt a trace of fear in his heart, Gugu's voice sounded, and he answered him with the news that the barracks and the Hall of Heroes had been built in a tone that was no different from before. At this time, Zheng Feng also thought that he had discussed the question of the soul with Gu Gu for a long time just now, and Gu Gu was no different from yesterday, so he didn't notice that there was no black dial on his wrist.
So, Zheng Feng asked where Gu Gu ran now, and Gu Gu replied that it was still on Zheng Feng's wrist, but it was changed to a hidden state. This kind of concealment state means that the body of the body is fused with Zheng Feng's arm, and it can also be understood that it is attached to the inside of the arm, but the body of the body should be regarded as a semi-energy body, so if you use an instrument to detect the arm, you can't find it.
The Gu of this state, and Zheng Feng's connection is directly communicated through brain waves, which is convenient and will not be seen by others. Zheng Feng felt that this state was like the fusion of human soul and body, which could not be seen or detected, but it did exist.
Well, Zheng Feng tried to issue instructions to Gu Gu in his heart, and sure enough, he didn't need to make a sound to issue instructions to the system now. Zheng Feng thought to himself that this state was very good, otherwise others would not regard himself as a psychopath when they saw that he was always talking to a watch.
Speaking of the watch with the body, it was actually brought by Zheng Feng from the original world, and the remnants of the notebook were transformed. Zheng Feng came out of the space-time vortex and only left a crumbling and fragile soul, and although the laptop he carried with him also lost most of the matter, it still left a small amount of matter, which was transformed into a embodiment under the action of huge energy, and it was also the material carrier of the embodiment system.
Now the body of this system has been hidden in Zheng Feng's arm, and what it left outside is only a small pattern, this simple and mysterious pattern is now on Zheng Feng's wrist, which is where the black dial was located before, but this pattern is only less than a centimeter in size, and it is usually colorless, and it can't be found without looking carefully.
After carefully observing this mysterious pattern for a while, Zheng Feng also touched it with his fingers, and there was no bulge or abnormality at all, it was just as plain as ordinary skin. Only when Zheng Feng issued a command to the outside would it flicker a faint fluorescence, a bit like a hard drive indicator.
After observing the new form of this tool, Zheng Feng got up to brush his teeth and wash his face, the bathroom in this rest area is still quite complete, soap towels, and even hot water. However, there is no toothpaste, and the substitute here is a fine salt that is rubbed on the teeth and then rinsed off.
